In this step-by-step tutorial we will be learning 6 beginner crochet stitches that I wish I’d learned sooner. They’re simple to pick up, super satisfying to stitch, and work beautifully for scarves, blankets, and more. If you’re learning how to crochet and want some go-to stitch patterns, this video will guide you through them slowly and clearly.
Each of these stitches only uses chains, single crochet, and double crochet (US terms), so if you’ve got the basics down, you’re ready to dive in. They’re perfect for beginners who want easy crochet stitches as well as more experienced crocheters looking for a mindless project.
✨ In this video, you’ll learn:
1) How to crochet Linen Stitch (also called Moss Stitch)
2) How to crochet Granny Stripes
3) How to crochet V Stitch
4) How to crochet the Spider Stitch (also called Griddle Stitch)
5) How to crochet Crossed Double Crochet
6) How to crochet the Ripple Stitch
👉 Tip: Use the timestamps to jump between stitches or rows. Go at your own pace and rewatch as many times as you need.
Whether you're adding to your crochet toolkit or just want some new, beginner-friendly stitch ideas, I hope this tutorial gives you patterns you'll come back to again and again. These stitches are versatile and fun to learn.
Please note: These are my own adapted versions of stitches originally found in The Harmony Guide to Crochet Stitches (1986).
